The EU's Accessibility Act is now enforced — and 95.9% of websites still fail WCAG. I audit, fix, and build EAA/WCAG 2.2 AA-compliant sites, fast, without enterprise cost.

Who I am
I raised accessibility from 80% to 95% at Amazon. Now I do it for you.
I spent nearly a decade as a design lead at Amazon, where I led accessibility across a multi-brand organisation and raised compliance from roughly 80% to 95%. Accessibility isn't a checkbox I add at the end — it's how I've worked for years. Now I bring that senior, regulator-ready eye to founders and small teams, building fast with AI-native tools and testing by hand the way a screen-reader user actually experiences your site.
And accessibility isn't only about avoiding fines. One in four EU adults lives with a disability — accessible sites reach more people, rank better, and convert better. Compliance is the floor; the market is the point.
Backed by people who'd know
Endorsed by design leaders at Amazon.
Featuring public, named, and checkable professional recommendations from former colleagues to speak for my work while this new profile establishes its first client reviews.
“She handled each request with impressive clarity and ownership, and the quality of her work consistently made our collaboration smooth and reliable.”
“She expertly navigates both meticulously planned projects and high-pressure, quick-turn challenges with equal skill.”
“Not only did she meet our ambitious 95% compliance target, she exceeded it, setting new standards of excellence.”
What I build
Four ways to work. One standard.
Audit, fix, build, or maintain — accessibility is the default, not the add-on.
01 · AUDIT + FIX PLAN
WCAG 2.2 AA / EAA Audit
Manual senior audit of your live site or app, a prioritised fix plan, and your accessibility statement. The front door for compliance buyers.
from £1,500 · fixed price
02 · LANDING PAGE
Accessible Landing Page
A conversion-focused landing page, built compliant from the first line of code and shipped to your domain.
03 · MVP / APP
Accessible MVP / App
A full-stack app — real code, real database, accessibility built in, handoff docs and a walkthrough call included.
04 · RETAINER
Accessibility & Care — Essentials
For founders and small sites that just shipped. Quarterly manual WCAG 2.2 AA check, monthly automated scan, performance check, up to 1 hour of fixes included, email support. Need this for an agency or multiple sites? Get in touch.

Founding client terms: the first 3 projects get 40% off standard pricing, in exchange for a detailed case study and testimonial as the project ships.

FAQ
Questions, answered before you ask.
How does pricing work?
Every project is fixed price, agreed before any code is written. We start with a short discovery call to scope your goal, audience, and must-haves; I'll quote a fixed price and timeline by the end of it — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. As a founding client (first 3 projects), you also get 40% off standard pricing in exchange for a detailed case study and testimonial once we ship.
Can I see examples of your work before booking?
Yes — scroll down to 'Proof of work' for live, inspectable projects, including a GOV.UK-pattern accessibility prototype and a privacy-first platform I designed and built end-to-end. No client case studies yet, since I'm just launching, but everything linked there is real, not a mockup.
What's included in the price?
Every package includes a fully functional, production-ready build — not a template — source code you own outright, a manual WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility check, and an agreed number of revision rounds. Higher tiers add a CRO review, a full accessibility audit, and handoff documentation. Exact inclusions are listed against each package above.
How and when do I pay?
Typically 50% deposit to begin, 50% on delivery, paid by Stripe. For larger app projects, we can split into milestone payments. Everything is agreed and confirmed in writing before work starts.
What if I don't like the result?
Every package includes 2 rounds of revisions, so we adjust until it's right before final delivery — I'll confirm scope on the call so there are no surprises. If we genuinely can't land on something that works, we'll discuss a partial refund based on work completed.
What if my project ends up bigger than expected?
If new requirements come up mid-project, I'll flag it immediately and quote the additional scope separately — you'll never be charged for extra work without agreeing to it first. The original fixed price never changes without your sign-off.
You mention AI tools (Lovable, Claude Code, UX Pilot) — is this AI-generated work?
I build with AI-native tools — that's how I deliver in days, not months. But AI alone produces inaccessible, brittle code: a February 2026 study found rising web-accessibility failures tied directly to AI-assisted 'vibe coding,' with 95.9% of top sites now failing WCAG. Every build I ship is reviewed and hardened by hand — keyboard, screen reader, and contrast tested — by a senior designer. You get AI speed with human accountability.
Can I get just a landing page, or just an app?
Yes — they're separate, fixed-price offers. Most clients start with the landing page and come back for the app later, but you're welcome to book either on its own, or both together.
What happens after handoff?
You get full documentation and a walkthrough call so your team — or you — can run, extend, or hand the project to another developer with no lock-in. I'm also available for ongoing support through an Accessibility & Care retainer if you'd rather not manage it yourself.
Where are you based?
East London, UK — working GMT/BST hours. I work with clients across the UK and EU, in English, French, or German.
I found you on Fiverr or LinkedIn — does anything change if I book directly instead?
No — same process, same pricing, same person. Booking directly just means no marketplace fees on my end, which I can sometimes pass on as a small discount. If you'd rather use Fiverr's buyer protection for your first project, that's completely fine too.
Why should I trust a new freelance profile?
Fair question. I don't have client case studies yet, so I show you what I can verify: named, public recommendations from design leaders at Amazon (linked to their LinkedIn), my own site built and tested to WCAG 2.2 AA, and a fixed price with a clear scope before any work starts. You can check all of it yourself.
What does accessibility actually get me?
Three things: you stop excluding roughly 1 in 4 people, you reduce EAA legal exposure (enforced since June 2025; fines reach €100,000 in Germany and up to €900,000 in the Netherlands), and accessible sites are usually faster and rank better. It's risk reduction and reach, not a checkbox.
The approach
How I build.
I won't hand you an AI-generated export and disappear. Every build is mine — senior-reviewed, tested, and hardened before it ships. If I wouldn't put it in front of my own users, I won't put it in front of yours.
Build Process
Discovery call → component-level build → manual review against the original brief, not AI output accepted as-is.
Tooling, named honestly
Lovable, Claude Code, UX Pilot, and React for build speed — every line senior-reviewed before it ships.
Handoff & no lock-in
You own the repo, not a black box. Full documentation plus a walkthrough call. No platform lock-in.
How it works
From brief to shipped.
A calm, four-step path with a fixed price agreed up front — no surprises, no scope creep.
